Some trust in their skills
Some trust in their rich and influential connections
But some of us have learnt to ONLY trust in the name of the LORD.
Over time, their skills and connections will fail them. But we will keep standing tall and we keep triumphing just because our trust is in the name of the LORD.
I met a ‘business’ man last year whose business model was strongly tied to the state of Nigerian politics. He was so confident of building a successful company because he is the son of a very close aide to the Nigerian President. The obvious question was: what happens to this man if the President loses out in his re-election bid?
Many people that appear to be thriving in business suddenly sink when their ‘way maker’ dies or suddenly loses his position.
Perhaps you should stop depending on your uncle, aunt, elder brother and rich cousin. Try depending on God, rumour has it that He is the most influential being and He has connections everywhere! I have certainly enjoyed using His connections over and over again, I go to places where I know NOBODY at all yet I simply seem to connect with someone there and get favourably responses to my petition. I can never be stranded or helpless, I can bank on the LORD to deliver all the time!
Now, do not get me wrong… God can use your family members and influential connections to help you.
What I’m really saying is that NEVER for one moment replace that person with God. God should remain your focus while He chooses who should get your task done for you.
I choose to always bank on God. What about you?
